The clutch cylinder is located behind the brake pedal and is an important part of the clutch system. When the clutch pedal is pressed, pressure is built up in the cylinder with brake fluid. The built-up pressure moves the fluid to the cylinders in the gearbox. With the pressure of the fluid, these cylinders can protrude a rod that disengages the clutch. This ensures that the clutch is disengaged and that it is possible to shift to the next gear safely. When the clutch cylinder no longer works properly, this will lead to unsafe situations. You can then no longer switch properly. Therefore, pay close attention to the symptoms that may indicate that something is wrong with the clutch cylinder.
Clutch cylinder broken
When the clutch cylinder is broken, there are a number of symptoms by which you can recognize this. The first symptom is a "floppy" clutch pedal. For example, the clutch pedal stays put when you press it instead of it coming back up. The clutch cannot now disengage properly and therefore cannot shift. Another symptom is too little brake fluid in the reservoir. Cloudy or dark brake fluid in the reservoir can also indicate a defect. This is caused by leaks at the cylinder. You can often also see a leak on the car mats on the floor of your car or on the engine block. Traces of brake fluid will then be found here. In general you will soon feel a leaking or broken cylinder in the pedal. If you notice these symptoms, be sure to check the cylinder as soon as possible and replace it if necessary.
Replace clutch cylinder
The clutch cylinder is an important part that has a major influence on clutching and shifting. A defective clutch cylinder should therefore be replaced as soon as possible. With a little technical insight, you can replace the clutch cylinder yourself. This will take approximately 1 to 2 hours of your time.
